OTTAWA. Canada, Ang. 23.-Sir
John A. Macdonald in an interview
with leading Manitoban. says: II
am determined that the building of
the Red River Valley road shall be
stopped. if necessary by British reg
ulars. On my suggestion the British
government has decided to establish
a garrison at Winnipeg. Their pres
ence there will make the unruly
provinces submit! to the federal au-
thority. That authority must be
maintained. and if rebellion results
il will not he my fault, but the fault
of the Manitobans. l am deter
mined to stop the construction of
that railway if done at the point of
the bayonet.' John Norquay, pre-
mier of Manitoba. says: "Sir John
dare not carry out his threats, and
as for British regulars, they are just
the ones the people of Winnipeg
want to see. We would appeal to
them for aid in fighting the Domin-
ion government"
The general impression here is
that If Sir John is in earnest he
must be certainly crazy.

ClnCH.NG SEAMEN.
A REMARKABLE HOSPITAL FEE ON HA-
WAIIAN VESSELS.

There is a great deal of murmuring
and discomfort among the seamen
who ship on the steamers Australia
and Zealandia, of the Oceanic line,
and the claim that they are being
robbed of Il "hospital' assessment by
the Hawaiian Consul in this city. On
the last trip Of the Australia to Homo
lulu man named Charles Knorp
was taken sick, and made application
to the Marine Hospital for treatment
His disease was aneurism of the
aorta, usually classed by physicians
as incurable and necessarily fatal,
but in any event Knorp, was told
that he could not get in the hospital
without paying %l.5O day for treat
ment, although the hospital assess
ment had been taken out of his
wages before he shipped. He did not
live long after arriving at the islands,
his death being hastened, it is said,
by tho necessarily poor nursing which
his shipmates could give him.
This account, which is given by
the seamen, is corroborated by the
agents of the vessels, John ID. Spreck-
els d Brothers, and some insight was
given into the operations Of the Ha-
waiiaD Consul, ID. M. Mckinley. A
representative of the firm said to-day:
"Tho Australia and Iealandia were
formerly British vessels, but now
they fly the Hawaiian flag. We ship
the crews through Consul Mckinley
for II round trip, the Australia going
only as far as Honolulu and the Zea-
landia to Australia. The Australia
makes thirteen trips each year and
every time Mckinley charges the
eighty-eight men on board fifty cents
for discharging, and twenty-five cents
ior hospital fee, making him the neat
little sum Of 1888 each year out of
the sailors, In addition there is u
chage OF fifty cents for shipping, that
usually comes out of the sailors, but
in this instance we pay it. Itamounts
to 1872 annually, so that in ali

isn't it?
"The Zealandia makes four trips
annually to sydney. There are as
before lightweight men, and MoKin-
ley charges them the modest sum Of 81
for discharging and twenty-five cents
for the hospital. Thus, you see, the
seamen pay him $40, We pay him
$l76 more--fifty cents for shipping

The ROADS DRY AsTONlsHlNGLY.

Our roads are always n prolific
source of complaint, but especially
so in wet weather. 1t is natural
enough for any public thoroughfare
to be worse in wet than in dry
weather. Rain affects more or less
injuriously the best of roads. But
there is one thing in cur favor in
this country, in which we have the
advantage of most other countries.
1t it this: no matter how abundant
the rain, nor how ong-continued,
within two or three days, at most,
after its cessation. the roads are as
dry and free from mud as they well
can be. In fact, the main thorough
fares change from quagmires to
moderately dry and passable roads
in less than day. This is one of
the natural advantages Of Honolulu,
for which every resident should be
grateful. OF course, the evapora-
tion and percolation of moisture and
the hardening Of mud do not fill up
the holes nor lessen the unevenness.
But if the road authorities would
work as promptly and intelligently
as nature, ,'and do their full share as
satisfactorily, we should find little
ground of complaint. This is too
mitch to expect of tn m, but let
them do their best with the means
at their disposal, proceeding on wise
and intelligent plans, and they will
merit commendation.

CHINESE RESTAURANT COOKERY.

1t is frequently said that if people
only knew what much OF modern
food is composed of and how it is
prepared, they would avoid it. Per-
haps so. A man must certainly have
pretty good appetite and moder-
ately strong stomach to relish and
digest ordinary Honolulu Chinese
boarding house fare, under the most
favorable circumstances but a
glimpse behind the screen at some of
these establishments, where the cook
ing and other preparations for the
table are done, would extinguish q
ravenous appetite and horrify a
powerful stomach. A gentleman had
an accidental peep into one of these
Kitchens the other day, while dinner
was being prepared. John, the cook,
was engaged in lattening some dough
for pie crust, with n rolling pin,
and finding it rather stiff, squirted
water over it with his mouth, like
Chinese laundryman does his
sprinkling. He next chopped up
some mutton suet with his teeth, and
basted leg of mutton with it in a
similar manner, preparatory to cook
ing. The gentleman suddenly made
up his mind not to wait for dinner,
and forthwith departed.

The following is summary ofthe
Queens speech, at the opening of

foreign relations are friendly.
Affairs in Southeastern Europe are
in u fair way of settlement, but
England must insist upon the OBJ
servance Of the Treaty of Berlin. In
Burmah and Egypt there is q graft
tying improvement. Grave anxiety
is caused by the state of Ireland.
The system adopted there of COM
bining to force tenants to evade
just debts may compel further legis-
lation, and the Government will not
hesitate to ask additional powers if
necessary. The bills to be submit
ted by the Government relate to
land transfer, railway rates, trade
marks and the facilitation of agri-
cultural allotments. The speech is
characterized by more than the
usual vagucness. The hints of leg
islation for Ireland are especially
obscure. The only allusion to the
Conspiracy bill is found in reference
to the plan of campaign, and the
Governments intention to intro
ducc, if necessary, n bill altering
the existing law so as TO enable it tc
cope with the movement. An indi'
cation of the extension Of the Ash
borne Act is given as an expression
of hope that the labors Of the Rent
Commission will result in measure
to ameliorate the condition of the
country. The leading measure fol
England and Scotland is County
Government bill.
